useful information like JavaDocs. The outputs are under the target/ directory.

Alternatively, just import the project using your IDE. Most good ones have Maven integration.

It will download the block chain and eventually print a Bitcoin address. If you send coins to it,

you should get them back a few minutes later when a block is solved.

You can also use a command line tool that exposes basic Bitcoin operations

Now you are ready to follow the tutorial:
|

|

On UNIX:
|
||||
cd tools
|
||||
./wallet-tool
|
||||
|
||||
On other platforms, do what the shell script would do for you:
|
||||
cd tools
|

mvn -q package -DskipTests
|

java -jar target/bitcoinj-tools-*.jar --help

Note that if you connect to a node that is itself downloading the block chain, you will see very slow progress (1
|
||||
block per second or less). Find a node that isn't heavily loaded to connect to.
|
||||
|
||||
If you get a SocketDisconnectedException, the node you've connected to has its max send buffer set to low
|
||||
(unfortunately the default is too low). Connect to a node that has a bigger send buffer,
|
||||
settable by passing -maxsendbuffer=25600 to the Bitcoin C++ software.

To regenerate the protobuf Java sources from src/bitcoin.proto, install the protobuf compiler package version 2.4.x:
|
||||
|
||||
Debian/Ubuntu: apt-get install protobuf-compiler
|
||||
|
||||
Windows: http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/downloads/list
|
||||
|
||||
OSX: install from ports?
|
||||
|
||||
and regenerate:
|
||||
|
||||
mvn clean package -DupdateProtobuf
|
||||
|
||||
For eclipse use the maven plugin and run:
|
||||
|
||||
mvn eclipse:eclipse
